Crossings
June 27 – August 9, 2024 509 West 27th Street, New York Crossings brings together an international and intergenerational group of artists exploring the enduring resonance of weaving, textiles, and embroidery in contemporary art. The exhibition examines a variety of practices that engage the poetics of fabric—its languages, genres, forms, and modes of composition. Examining the ability of woven material to expand, transform, and complicate artistic disciplines, the exhibition incorporates work by artists whose practices span textile, painting, sculpture, installation, and conceptual art, including Claudia Alarcón, Olga de Amaral, Hellen Ascoli, Teresa Baker, Vamba Bility, Julia Bland, Vivian Caccuri, Dee Clements, Kenturah Davis, Jacques Douchez, Ximena Garrido-Lecca, Sonia Gomes, Suchitra Mattai, Maria Nepomuceno, Norberto Nicola, Madalena Santos Reinbolt, Judith Scott, Tyrrell Tapaha, T. Vinoja and Sarah Zapata. View More -
Julia Isídrez: Mundo de Julia
June 27 – August 9, 2024 297 Tenth Avenue, New York Mundo de Julia, an exhibition of ceramic sculpture by Julia Isídrez (b. 1967, Itá, Paraguay) marks the artist’s first solo exhibition in the United States and runs concurrently with Isídrez’s presentation in Stranieri Ovunque – Foreigners Everywhere, the 60th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia curated by Adriano Pedrosa. Among the most notable sculptors working in South America today, Isídrez has recently emerged on the international stage as a singular voice in contemporary art. She continues to garner broader recognition for elaborating the sculptural and expressive capacity of an ancient methodology passed down by her mother, the famed ceramic artist Juana Marta Rodas (1925-2013). Expanding an indigenous Guaraní tradition in which mothers have taught ceramic techniques to their daughters for centuries, Isídrez reconfigures the sculptural language and traditional forms of her ancestors, fostering her own creative force in the realm of contemporary sculpture.
